Bald Mountain Recreation Area consists of 4,637 rolling acres located just northeast of Pontiac in Oakland County.
The picturesque park, which offers camping in rustic cabins, has some of the steepest hills and most rugged terrain in southeastern Michigan. Its extensive trails, inland lakes, trout streams and wild game provide rich recreation opportunities all year long. The park is home to the Skymasters Radio Controlled Airplane Club and the Bald Mountain Shooting Range. Bald Mountain Recreation Area is located at 1330 E. Greenshield Road, in Lake Orion.
"We're excited to see this Friends group re-energized and working on behalf of important park programs and events at this beautiful southeastern Michigan park," said Andrew Cole, unit supervisor at Bald Mountain Recreation Area.
Cole said the Friends group slowed its activities and involvement roughly 10 years ago, but there were members who always kept an interest and passion for the park and hoped to rebuild the Friends' momentum in the future. The reorganized group will focus on a number of areas for park improvement, including:
Volunteer work days to clean up litter and remove invasive species.
Fundraising events to aid with purchase and maintenance of improved park amenities.
Assistance with planning and promotion of park events.
Anyone interested in learning more about becoming a member of this Friends group and meeting new people who also enjoy Bald Mountain Recreation Area should contact the park and provide their contact information (including name, telephone number and email address).
